This album felt a little less “powery” than their previous ones, which struck me as odd at the time, though it’s still very good. I also really wish he’d pronounced “tyranny” correctly, because it drives me nuts every time he sings it.
I like their album covers too.
It's definitely up there! It's a shame that it didn't become a bigger hit. I feel like you never hear about these songs outside of the old school power metal circles.
One of the best first halves of any metal album ever. Unfortunately, there are some weak spots in the second half…And now the one that's possibly their best...
Crazy talk. The subdued chorus of “No Stranger” is great, and that batshit spiraling guitar solo is fucking brilliant.
Oh yeah, just in time when I got into them! Power Plant is my second favourite, after Land of the Free. Didn't get to No World Order yet, and I agree about SOIS. Great first half, but very bloated. I like Lost in the Future though, it's a fun short track but interesting enough that it doesn't feel like filler. Same applies to Short as Hell.
The best and my favorite album of Gamma Ray! The only song I don't like is ''Lost In The Future''. The title track, ''Beyond The Black Hole'', ''No Stranger (Another Day In Life)'', ''Valley Of The Kings'', ''Watcher In The Sky'', The Winged Horse'' and ''Shine On'' are all masterpieces imo.
Amazing song! It's difficult for me to say which is my favorite song of the band because they are a lot.
Another great album. The cover is done by Derek Riggs. I like all but 3 songs.
I listened to some of it last night and it was surprisingly not too bad.
